Apples iOS 27 and Siri AI are coming soon: Everything we know so far

Apple 's most important software platform is about to get a big upgrade.

In a couple weeks, Apple will finally launch the iOS 27 .

Yes, we've seen and tried out the developer betas and the public betas.

Right now, we're at Developer Beta 7 and Public Beta 5; this late in the game, we don't expect to see any major new features when iOS 27 launches properly, though surprises are always possible.
